Groenendael

His successor, Lambert, the last of the Groenendael hermits, was so poor in spirit as not to be attached even to his cell.

Gerard continually strove to imbue his own disciples with the spirit which he had imbibed from the Prior of Groenendael.

It may be mentioned here that in 1409 the Priory of Groenendael was instituted the Mother-house of a congregation of that name.

The latter returned several times to Groenendael and resided there for months together.

This book too may well have been written before the retreat to Groenendael.
